We have two decades to save life on earth as we know it - and I am not kidding[i].

About 150 years ago we unknowingly started making gasses that are coming back to hurt us. They came from the carbon-based fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas. We have been rapidly increasing production of these gasses every year since the late 1800s. [ii]These gasses float up, and over decades create the equivalent of an oven around our collective living quarters - our earth. [iii]

The cooking has started.

A quick recap: We just finished the warmest 6 months on record for the entire globe.[iv] The August 2015 sea surface temperature was the highest for any month in the ex…

Local communities and major corporations both have an unrecognized chance to reverse the trends in climate change/global warming dramatically. This opportunity exists because according to the scientists one of the major gasses causing problems lives around 12 years[1]. If we can stop adding this one gas to the environment we could rather quickly see a slowing of the damage it causes.

Think of our environment like a campfire. If you want to make it burn slow and steady, you add wood on log at a time. If you want to make the fire burn explosively, you pour gasoline on it. If you don’t want to increase the fla…

North Carolina citizens have access to new low cost weapons that can be used to protect families. Some people who want to use these weapons are organizing themselves into self-defense groups, claiming that the existing government institutions are not doing their job.

Tens of thousands of chemicals in use today that have not been tested for their impact on humans. The number of these chemicals and the volumes used daily are growing rapidly. [1] Science has shown that these chemicals are entering our bodies and causing changes to our children’s cells, their food, and our climate at a frightening rate. For example, one study found 2…
